Lee Valley Hardware ( leevalley.com )has a beautiful hardware catalog, it includes many small latche and hinge options. Good luck, I have been thinking about building a case for my Bass clarinet. Do you know where to get liner fabric?

Nice guy to deal with

I am not related to him nor have any financial connection with him....just stating this as a service.

Thanks Gene for reading my mind and to all for the good leads. Ferree's also has some hardware as does even Ace Hardware! I'm currently restoring an absolutely grotesque old case on which the original "Buffet style" latches still look and work beautifully. After trying to remove the rusted rear hinges I opted to use some rust transformer on them and then paint them. Velvet from a yard goods store works well on the interior. (It's a work of love)

Try Rockler, they have a pretty decent selection and are great to deal with.

One more thing I forgot to mention I'm in Canada and I prefer Can . supplier's but also pro hardware for the cases example the corner fitting's you know the hardware that look's like it belong's on the case so the case look's nice and proffessional like.
